Top Story: Define BEAUTIFUL
Don’t do this at home!
Produce an 18 minute broadcast where you stay silent while local legislators “speak their truths” about the BIG BILL
Give non-contextualized platform to diametrically opposed and conflicting facts about who the bill will hurt, and who it will help
Use the marketing term Big Beautiful Bill in reporting on a bill a lot of Americans consider quite ugly
Do this at home!
Tell stories about how the bill will impact natural resources
Be detailed and exhaustive about what this bill means for real people
Find high-quality experts to weigh in
Tell people who serves to lose from the policies set forth in the bill: Lower 20 percent of earners
Tell people who serves to win: High-earners
